God's Gift to Believers

This thirteenth message from Romans presents clear contrasts between Adam's sin that led to death and Christ's righteousness that led to life. Adam's sin brought total RUIN to mankind - this included: (1) physical and spiritual death (separation); (2) the destiny (fate) of death, even without the Law; and (3) the dominion of death over mankind, even though their sins were not the same as Adam's. Christ's righteousness provided complete RESCUE to all men - this deliverance is: (1) unmerited as a gracious free gift that came in abundance to many, as an acquittal providing justification, and as authority to reign in life with Christ; and it is (2) unbelievable because of the sacrifice of His righteous life, the submission of His total compliance, the superabundance of His generous grace, and the salvation of His eternal life.
